Search the internet for the right Halloween costume companies. If you don’t have time to create your own costume for that October 31st party, search the internet for terms such as “plus size Halloween,” “Halloween costumes overweight adults”, or “pregnant women costumes.” If you buy a costume online, make sure there’s a clear return policy (in case you don’t like it, or you find something better in the meantime).
Don’t forget e-Bay. If you go to e-Bay.com and search for “plus size Halloween” or “overweight costumes”, you’ll find pages of possibilities. Start your bidding early…
Create a costume that represents an overweight person or thing. Strut your stuff, my friend! Princess Fiona from Shrek, Santa Claus, a pumpkin, or Mimi from the Drew Carey show are great examples of easy Halloween costumes for overweight adults and children. Even men can dress up as Mimi – and a local thrift store would have everything you need! For more ideas, read Creative Halloween Costumes for Women, Girls, and Couples.
Avoid heavy, hot Halloween costumes. It’s not a good idea to wear an animal mascot or similar heavy costume. Make sure your costume has layers that you can remove if you get hot — especially if you’re a pregnant woman. Also, make sure your Halloween costume isn’t too tight-fitting. You need room to move and breathe!
Browse the thrift stores. The Value Village thrift store chain has an amazing selection of Halloween costumes every year – and those costumes fit both regular and overweight adults. Grab a friend and spend the afternoon browsing the racks for creative Halloween costume ideas.
Wear a costume you feel comfortable in. The best way to have fun with your costume on Halloween is to wear a costume you can move in. Avoid costumes that make you feel stupid or uncomfortable. Sometimes overweight adults and children feel self-conscious – and the last thing you want is to create more of those feelings. Put comfort and happiness ahead of finding the best costume for plus size people.

Here’s a great Halloween costume idea for women, especially oversize or pregnant:
Take a box and cut it to fit. Paint it with red and white stripes and write “POPCORN” on the front. Glue popped popcorn around the top of box. String some popcorn in your hair. Wear white make-up. Use an upside-down popcorn bucket for a hat.
Have Fun.
